    Maybe I'll become a Suns fan.

    Grizz and Suns will win, Spurs probably too

    Blazers have to win or are out

    If we lose and the Spurs win, what's the tiebreaker for 9th?

    It is going to be a close game since the Blazers cannot defend. They especially cannot defend the 3 point line and Brooklyn shoots a lot of 3s.

    It won't matter for us if 2/3 of the teams behind us win today and we lose.

    So if the Spurs win too, and the Blazers lose....do we move into the 13th spot in the lotto? That would be a big jump in one day.

    Grizz up 19 and Suns up 25. If they both win, it doesn't matter what the Spurs do.

    Just to be clear, it won't matter to us.

    I know, I'm just wondering: won't there be a two-way tie for 9th?

    If Portland just would've taken care of business against the Clippers - tonight game would be meaningless.

    The Suns are probably a better story than us, anyway...

    Is that right? Do the Suns have the tiebreaker against San Antonio?

    Irrelevant. They can't tie.
    Suns would have the highest winning percentage and get #9.
    Spurs would be next and get 10
    Blazers would be last of the group.

    With the Suns and Grizzlies winning, the Spurs are eliminated from the playoffs. 22 year playoff streak broken.
